He twisted his ankle. Li Boyan briefly explained and placed Dai Xinyi on the sofa.
Dai Mu anxiously examined her daughter's injury, her voice filled with concern as she scolded, "How could you be so careless? Everything was fine at the wedding, and now look what happened!" Her tone quivered with unshed tears. "Do you know how much your father worried about your wedding? Now—"
Listening to her mother’s lament, Dai Xinyi felt even worse. She knew she had disappointed her mother and betrayed Li Bo's trust.
"Don't worry, Auntie. Dai Xinyi just twisted her ankle; she'll be fine after a few days of rest," Li Bo reassured her, his calm tone making Dai Xinyi feel a sense of unfamiliarity.
"Bo," Dai Mu grasped Li Bo's hand, her eyes pleading. "I know Dai Xinyi has let you down, but she's a good girl; she just made a mistake."
Li Bo gently withdrew his hand and replied coolly, "Auntie, let's leave the past behind us. I have things to attend to."
With that, he turned and left the Dai family home without a trace of hesitation. Watching his retreating figure, tears finally streamed down Dai Xinyi's face.
Li Bo returned home and slumped onto the sofa, his mind filled with the image of Dai Xinyi's resolute back.
When Fang Jing Shu came home, she found him in this state. Li Bo's eyes were vacant, his tie askew, and his shirt bore smudges of lipstick from when Dai Xinyi had struggled. She took a deep breath and sat beside him, gently placing her hand on his shoulder.
"Bo, are you okay?"
Li Bo glanced at her, his gaze heavy with fatigue and confusion. "Fang Jing Shu," he started but faltered, unsure of how to express himself.
"I know you're hurting," Fang Jing Shu said softly. "Things have happened; we can only look forward now."
Li Bo forced a bitter smile. "I know."
"You did nothing wrong; the fault lies with Dai Xinyi and Zhang Tianming," Fang Jing Shu comforted him. "You're a good man who deserves better happiness."
"I know I must try," Fang Jing Shu insisted. "You can't let the past ruin your present and future."
"How do I try?" Li Bo asked weakly.
After a moment's thought, Fang Jing Shu suggested, "Let's gather everything related to Dai Xinyi and deal with it. Consider it a farewell to the past."
Li Bo hesitated but ultimately agreed. Together they packed away photos, letters, gifts—everything that reminded him of Dai Xinyi—into a large box. Looking at the box full of memories made Li Bo's heart ache as if pricked by needles.
"Bo, I know this is hard, but you must do it," Fang Jing Shu encouraged him. "Only by letting go of the past can you start anew."
Taking a deep breath, Li Bo nodded. He lifted the box and went downstairs to throw it into the trash bin. Watching it disappear into the garbage truck brought him an empty feeling yet also a sense of relief.
Meanwhile, Dai Xinyi was slowly beginning to emerge from her shadow with the help of her therapist, Song Yujie.
Song Yujie was an experienced psychologist who guided Dai Xinyi to confront her issues, analyze her emotions, and learn how to manage them better.
